Am I scared of AI? I am. And this is precisely why I’m talking about it.

- ANNA MAE YU LAMENTILLO

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly reshaping every aspect of our world. It has already begun transforming critical sectors such as healthcare, finance, education, communication, creativity, and social connectivity. AI's potential to address complex global challenges, optimize processes, improve efficiency, and foster groundbreaking innovations is remarkable. We stand at the brink of an unprecedented era, promising revolutionary advancements that could enhance human life, eradicate longstanding diseases, and solve issues that have eluded solutions for generations.

Yet, alongside these exciting prospects, a less optimistic scenario also looms. It's uncomfortable to confront, but essential to acknowledge: the risks AI brings. Its impact could be profoundly disruptive: affecting jobs, exacerbating inequalities, entrenching systemic biases, and even facilitating the manipulation of emotions, opinions, and decision-making processes on an unprecedented scale. The very technology we create to improve our lives could inadvertently undermine our freedoms and exacerbate existing societal divisions.
